Ingredients (Serves 4-6) 

  • 125g (4oz) dried red kidney beans, soaked overnight

  • salt and pepper

  • 185g (6oz) thin green beans, trimmed and cut into 4 cm (1 ½ in) lengths

  • 250g (8oz) shelled broad beans

  • shallot rings, to garnish 

Shallot dressing:

  • 60 ml (2fl oz) virgin olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

  • 1 shallot, finely chopped 

Put red kidney beans into a saucepan with water to cover and boil for 1 ½ hours until tender, adding salt 5 minutes before the end of the cooking time. Drain, put into a bowl, and leave to cool.

Cook green beans and broad beans in boiling salted water for about 5 minutes until just tender. Drain, skin broad beans, and add both beans to the kidney beans. 

To make the dressing, mix ingredients together in a bowl, seasoning to taste with salt and pepper. Pour over the salad and toss. Transfer to a serving dish, cover and refrigerate until required. Serve garnished with shallot rings.
